    Default Suminagashi custom straight razor - without happy end

    I made this razor for a custom order. This razor was cursed, I think. I had a lot of problem with the heat treat and the acryl scales. I made the blade two times and the scales three times. After I sent to my customer. The edge was not perfect and after a few days the transparent acryl scales has broken. I refound the whole money, of course. Not a happy story but such is life.

    Despite of the negative story I hope you will like the razor.


    • Multi-Layered Takefu Suminagashi steel hardened to HRC 61
    • 13/16" (21mm) wide blade
    • Half hollow grind
    • 70mm cutting edge
    • Transparent acrylic scales with turquoise wedge
    • Teflon pivot bearing washers
    • Nickel-silver wedge/spacer pin with stainless steel washers
    • Adjustable stainless steel pivot pins
